A leisurely bike ride with a coffee break in Kufstein. We're really enjoying the first stage of the KAT Bike light!
A moderately difficult, technically easy first stage through the scenic Unterinntal and the gentle mountain landscape of the Kitzbühel Alps, from Angerberg to St. Johann in Tirol. The route follows well-maintained bike paths and wide forest roads, passing traditional Tirolean hamlets and the striking peaks of the Kaiser Mountains. The lively market square in St. Johann, at the foot of the Kitzbüheler Horn, is a rewarding Finishing Point for this varied day trip. Numerous quaint taverns and cozy cafés right along the route offer ideal spots to stop for a break.
The KAT-Bike Light route starts in Angerberg or Mariastein. Both towns are situated in a quiet location above the Inntal and offer an impressive mountain panorama. The nearest train station is in Wörgl. From there, you can reach Angerberg or Mariastein either conveniently by bus or, alternatively, on a leisurely, approximately 30-minute Tour.
Along the Inn Cycle Path
From Angerberg, we first follow the Unterinntal-Landesstraße to the small village of Angath. There, we switch to the well-known Inn Cycle Path, which takes us directly along the Inn River—from which the path takes its name—all the way to Kufstein. Even from a distance, the town is recognizable by its imposing fortress, which towers high above the Inn.
Past the Wilder Kaiser
In Kufstein, we leave the Inn Cycle Path and switch to the Eibergradweg (No. 28). This route leads through the impressive Weißach Gorge to the turnoff for Schwoich. From here, the bike path runs idyllically along the Weißach River, nestled in a diverse natural landscape.
We follow the path to the Stockach district and switch there to Bike Trail No. 14, “Wilder Kaiser.” Now we cycle through the Söllleukental valley, always with the striking Wilder Kaiser behind us, until we reach our destination for the day, St. Johann in Tirol.
